Abstract

In the output of a mixer, spurious appears with the desired signal, and a filter is necessary to suppress the spurious. In this paper, the planar filter for Ka-band frequency synthesizer was designed and fabricated. In this procedure, the frequency response becomes asymmetric because of discontinuities at the high frequency. Using this, we designed short-end PCLF by using a individual resonator tuning method. The fabricated 5th-order Ka-band pass filter is compared with the result of EM simulation through measurement. The performance agrees with the simulation. Finally spurious suppression was examined through the measurement of output spectrum of the mixer with the filter.

혼합기를 사용한 회로의 출력에는 원하는 신호 외에 불요파들이 발생하여 이를 제거하기 위한 여파기 설계가 요구된다. 본 논문은 Ka 대역 주파수 합성기 응용에 소요되는 평판형 여파기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 이 과정에서 고주파에서 발생하는 불연속 효과로 인해 주파수 응답 특성이 비대칭적으로 깨지는 것을 분석하였으며, 이를 포함하여 개별 공진기 조정 기법으로 short-end PCLF를 설계하였다. 설계된 5단 Ka 대역 통과 여파기를 제작하여 측정 결과를 EM 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하여 만족할만한 성능을 얻었으며, 최종적으로 혼합기와 같이 측정함으로써 성능을 입증하였다.
